Platinum End

I feel like the creators of Death Note decided they wanted to make their version of Future Diary, although unsuccessfully. They chose an uninteresting clown for the lead role, cast equally cliched supporting characters around him, and even replaced the charismatic Ryuk with not-so-personal angels. They still tried to get philosophical about humanity, nature, and other aspects of our souls, yet without any new ideas or charisma, so it was just a diluted rehash of their previous work. The first episode was still good, although then the whole thing went downhill too fast for me, and even worse: it became boring, irritating, and predictable. Even the fight between the worldviews of the main male protagonist and Metropoliman was not very good. I did not care for the characters. Inevitably, I dropped it after the eleventh episode, and my feeling is 3.5/10 at most. (25.03.2022)
